I’ll behave in the setting sun,<\/p>\n
When you’re not around the chambered room,<\/p>\n
And maybe this is what life is supposed to be?<\/p>\n
People running carelessly through other’s hearts,<\/p>\n
Never knowing how to keep anything together,<\/p>\n
We rummage through drawers and fall apart,<\/p>\n
The sunken treasure in your soul,<\/p>\n
Or the way people live will give us a reason,<\/p>\n
To show our true colors.<\/p>\n
I know how the torn lovers speak,<\/p>\n
In riddles and the broken tongues spill out the truth,<\/p>\n
I see the emptiness of the day,<\/p>\n
One more day and then the next,<\/p>\n
Spilling words hoping they mean something eventually.<\/p>\n
I know this sickening world is full of light,<\/p>\n
And the darkness only cuts half as much as my sleep does,<\/p>\n
And the day grows intense, just like your fading lips on my skin,<\/p>\n
But these torn lovers know something I do not,<\/p>\n
And i’ve been ripped up for some time,<\/p>\n
Because of you, lover, you stole these eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
